I have a situation where I need to transfer Zip file(Around 10 GB) from one server to another. Now there are two ways, one is using read stream and write stream -

while (inputZip.Length > nAmountWritten)
{
    buffer = reader.ReadBytes(10 * 1024 * 1024);
    bw.Write(buffer); //Binary Writer for destination
    nAmountWritten += buffer.Length;
}

Another is File.Copy.

Which way is better for transferring big files. Is it okay if I use File.Copy in such kind of scenario?

In on situation, I faced in Read And Write way is that sometime one chunk gets corrupted resulting in getting few files corrupted in Zip.

  • Use File.Copy. No need to read and write this into a stream. You can run a batch file with Process() too. – smoore4 Jul 19 '19 at 14:52
